leaving some things behind

i used to run to escape
to burn those calories away
into a body i could control, manipulate
i ended that long and bloody battle years ago
but it still haunts me sometimes
i hear a voice echo in the distance
it's so far off now, yet strikingly familiar to the most integral parts of my being
time and experience has muddled it's intonation and meaning
i've forgotten how to escape
but these days i no longer want to
